Indications for and outcomes of therapeutic plasma exchange after cardiac transplantation: A single center retrospective study.

abstract：:For therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE), continuous flow separators are known to be efficient as exemplified by Fresenius AS104 and COBE Spectra. The AS104 uses an interface monitoring system in the centrifuge during TPE, whereas Spectra uses computer algorithms to establish the plasma-cell interface. To determine the p...
